(meme) Bottom 10% Userpic Meme

Posted onAuthorcahwyguy

This was snarfed from… nobody. I’m inventing it!

1. Look at your count of userpics used, divide by 10, and round up.

2. Go through your userpics, and for that many userpics (i.e., your bottom 10%), post your least used userpics, and an explanation of what you would use that userpic for, if you used it at all.

OK, so for me, I have 105 userpics, so my “Bottom 10%” are:

1. Gardening.I did this one a while back, and I really like the transparency of the Route 1 logo. Unfortunately, I haven’t done that much gardening, so I use it very rarely.

2. Pork. This is from the TARDsite, and I find the sign absolutely hilarious. However, the context for actually using it as an icon is rare.

3. Anniversary. This is for “Happy Anniversary” posts (and an occasional TV cartoon post). I don’t do many of those, as LJ does’t remind you of anniversaries.

4. Two-gentlemen. This graphic from Two Gentlemen of Verona I planned to use for theatre posts. It just isn’t working out that way.

5. Foxy-faigin. I recently came up with the graphic, because I couldn’t resist. Haven’t found anyplace to use it yet.

6. Ca-hwy-1-gif. My original userpic. Now that it is no longer my default, I rarely use it on posts, though.		       7. Angry dog. I use this when I’m really pissed off, which doesn’t happen that often.

8. Drumcorps. I use this for drumcorps posts, which don’t happen that often.

9. Star-trek. For science-fiction related posts.

10. Dpf-work. An older picture of me at work. For some reason, I just rarely use it.

11. sympathy and tea – MF. Meant to be a sympathy and tea picture, but I tend to use my Charlie Brown and Snoopy hugs instead.

So what are your Bottom Userpics?

(meme) An Iconic Meme

Posted onAuthorcahwyguy

Snarfed from verbenia:

Reply to this post and ask me, and I will tell you my favorite icon of yours. Then (optionally) post this to your own journal using your own favorite icon.

…and modifed by tsgeisel:

If you’re on my regular reading list, and you put this meme in your own lj, I’ll ask you to name one of mine. If you don’t plan on putting this meme in your own lj, feel free to tell me which of mine you like best. If you do plan on propagating this, I’ll get to you, don’t worry.

Comments:

It really is hard to pick a favorite icon of mine, because so many of them are themed for specific uses. Looking through my icon list, however, this one just stood out because of the humor. I just know how that baby feels.

This hasn’t gone around in a while, so I figured I’d bring it back to get some more ideas for userpics.

  1. Think of a word you would use to describe me (or something you think I need to capture as a userpic).
  2. Go to Google Image Search and search for that word.
  3. Select the picture you see as most fitting, and post it as a reply.
  4. Post this meme in your journal (if you want).

(meme) What’s Your Screen?

Posted onAuthorcahwyguy

A lunchtime meme, artfully prepared by terpsichoros:

  1. Take a screencap of your desktop. On Windows, to do this, simply press “Print Screen” (prt sc) button. Then open your graphics program-o-choice, press CTRL + V, and save the image as a JPEG. M’self, I did a screen capture in PaintShopPro and then optimized it.
  2. Upload the screen cap to your image server. Don’t have one yet? Use Photobucket. Or Imageshack. Or Livejournal Pictures (if you are a paid user).
  3. Reply to this entry with your screencap or a link to your screencap. Include explanations you feel are necessary.
  4. Post your cap in YOUR LJ along with these instructions.

So, here goes. Click on the image to get the full version.

Observations:

  • Raise your hands: How many folks made sure your desktop was appropriate before saving it (i.e., no actual work stuff displayed, made the points you wanted it to make)?
  • Yes, you do see almost every tool under the sun available. I’m a (deep booming voice) power-user.

(meme) Icon-Making

Posted onAuthorcahwyguy

[snarfed from cellio]

There’s a meme going around that states: “Comment if you would like me to make you an icon based on one of your LJ interests. The choice of interest is entirely up to me.”. Well, as I just received Paint Shop Pro 9, and I’ve already used up 80% of my icons, I’d love to make a few for others.

So, as the meme says, “Comment if you would like me to make you an icon based on one of your LJ interests. The choice of interest is entirely up to me.”. However, if you want me to do it on a particular topic or for a particular usage, please let me know. Also, please let me know if you have a symbol that identifies yourself (as I have), and I’ll work that into the icon.
